At 1pm on Monday October 9th, up to one hundred and
fifty angry and concerned people converged on the Palace of Westminster,
to sack parliament. The plan was to surround parliament and cause parliamentary
activities to cease. MPs, Lords and civil servants would be prevented from
re-opening Parliament.

As soon as protesters started to arrive, police quickly
moved in stop and search everyone that was considered 'suspicious'. Many
people were turned away from reaching Parliament Square, others were singled
out by police units and preentd from joining the protests. See 2pm update
when around 100 protesters were surrounded by police. An NUJ photogapher
was hospitalised by police after being violently thrown into a kerb.

Eventually the remaining demonstrators were left
out the police pen, after having been searched, photographed and identified.
There are reports of several arrests, but there is no confirmation of numbers
as yet.
